002 The troubles of the lord of the floating city
No sooner had the king made the decision to fence the fence than he ran into a problem.
"It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice," Rosalie said, in a Monrovia proverb, "and there are so many acres of land on the island, even if we make a fence of wood or bamboo, we must have wood." ”
Wang: "Don't worry, we're going to be back to where Starchase ran aground, there should be a lot of timber there." ”
Elizabeth: "We don't have wood. Originally, we came to Repulse City to buy building materials and hire craftsmen, but now the building materials are not sold, and the craftsmen don't know if there are any. ”
Hashir: "Our gang has carpenters and blacksmiths, and we should be alive to get to the island." But it's not enough to have a carpenter without wood. The blacksmith now has no iron, not even a furnace, and it is estimated that he will only be able to sharpen his knife for a while. ”
Okay, a blacksmith who can only sharpen knives, what is that blacksmith called?
Wang scratched his head: "Otherwise, if we go back to the ground and search, we may be able to find something useful." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, all the refugees around him said in unison: "No, no, it's okay to make do with it now." ”
Hashil snorted, "Listen to what they say!" Now it's just that they haven't gotten rid of the shock of the heavens, and when they get used to floating in the sky, you can see their true nature! Nothing, everything, all day long pretending to ask you for charity.
"In fact, they are the worst, they hide their wealth in all kinds of corners, ask you for alms all day long, and when you are down, they immediately run to the well, and then take your things!"
The refugees were silent.
Hashir continued: "Perhaps there were once really good people in Repulse City, I don't deny that. But a gentle and good man has only one end in that city, turning into a corpse in the gutter! Then all the valuable things on the body become the pockets of these people.
"There are definitely no good people in Repulse City now! Absolutely nothing! Look, they'll soon want a house, food, something else. ”
At this time, some of the refugees were unconvinced and retorted: "Don't you just want the city lord to rely on you, pretending to be a kind person who warns the city lord, but in fact, it is full of your own calculations!" ”
Hashir: "Hmph, I know you. Wang, this is the lying king of Downtown, Crowe, who lives by coaxing rookie adventurers who have just come to Rescualaure, and his small gang doesn't know how many adventurers' equipment they have picked, and there are women in the team who still want to be defiled! ”
Crowe: "It's slander! I'm also a businessman! ”
"Yes, yes, pawnshop, I just don't know how much of what your pawnshop sells is pawned by others, and how much is directly picked from dead adventurers. After all, the shanty town is like a man-eating monster, I don't know how many people disappear in it every day, and a few new adventurers disappear without anyone careging. ”
Hashel paused, and then said, "By the way, I remember that you have a wife and a daughter, where have they gone?" ”
Crowe squeezed out a few tears: "Of course it was ...... by the undead army"
Hashir: "I think you took the initiative to trip them up and make them stall for you!" This person is such a miscellaneous crumb, and such miscellaneous crumbs have escaped a lot this time. ”
Wang: "Granny Hashir, don't say anything. Now we can only rely on the Pelicans to reorganize the self-police group, and you will be the one who knows their nature to manage them in the future, Granny Hashir.
"But we have a temporary covenant for the Floating City here, Granny Hashir, and you pelicans have literate clerks, right? Let the clerks read the covenant to all the helpers, and refer to the covenant when administering it. ”
Hashir: "There is also the covenant, so it is okay, and it will be governed according to the provisions of the covenant." ”
Wang: "Also, if there is a guy like this Crowe among the refugees, arrest him, and we don't want such a guilty criminal here." ”
Hashir: "What about after you get it?" Hang them? ”
Crowe knelt down with a puff: "Wish! It's all slandered by this old woman! I'm ......."
Wang: "There is no need to be hanged, you can be banished to the island." We will soon be back at the place where Starchase has stranded, where we can get much-needed wood. When the time comes, criminals and unreliable people, especially the Black Dragons Gang, as Hashir just mentioned, can be banished to the island. ”
Hashir: "I would still recommend banishing all but the Pelican family members to the island." ”
Crow: "This old witch just wants us to die!" With ferocious beasts and terrifying lizardmen in the rainforest, how could we be a group of unarmed civilians survive? ”
Liguang clasped his hands on his chest: "There are also vicious lizardmen on the island, and according to you, it is not safe on the island. ”
Crowe was speechless for a moment.
Wang: "It's a bit beyond my bottom line to send them all, and there are women and children in it." ”
Xiaobai was shocked: "You have actually become a good camp now!" I see that you have negotiated with the Order, and I think we must be in the evil camp. So that's a logical fit. ”
Xiaobai's "what" here should refer to collusion with the lich.
Nini: "I think the teacher has always been very flexible. ”
Wang: "No matter what, in short, you can't put everyone down in one fell swoop, but this kind of bad thing must go down!" ”
Hashir: "Okay, I'll try to sift through it. ”
Wang: "It is estimated that it will take one night to fly to the place where the Star Chaser has run aground, and we will screen the people who are going to be exiled tonight, and we will drive them down when we land tomorrow." In addition, organize a strong labor force, prepare saws and axes, and after landing tomorrow, we will separate and transport the Star Chaser and other stranded merchant ships, and build a shelter from the wind and rain first. ”
Hashir: "Just leave this to us." ”
Wang: "When dismantling the Asterisk, pay attention, the Captain's Room of the Asterisk has a permanent space compression magic, don't break it." The captain's cabin must be brought up in its entirety. ”
Hashil frowned, "How big is the captain's room?" ”
The king reported the exact length, width and height.
Hashir: "It's complicated to transport such a large object, you're a mage, can't you think of a way?" ”
Wang: "Something that big can't use levitation magic. But I can prepare the Giant Magic, you choose a few workers with great strength, and I will use the Giant Magic to make it bigger, and then bring the things up. ”
"Yes." Hashir nodded.
Crow didn't know when he crawled to the king's feet: "Lord of the city! Don't drive us off the island, I can kiss your boots for that! ”
After saying that, he hugged the king's boots and really kissed them.
After all the experiences he had just experienced, and the king's boots were all covered in mud, Crow kissed them without hesitation.
Wang was about to kick his foot at first, but found that the boot was grabbed by Crowe, and the guy was determined to perform the scene.
Wang Xin was horizontal, raised his foot fiercely, and threw Crowe out.
Hashir said next to him, "You probably feel what kind of person this guy is now, right?" ”
Wang: "I can't feel it, because I'm not good at reading people. But...... I am disgusted by his performance like this, let him go to the island! ”
"Now, immediately?" Xiao Bai showed a wicked smile, and the ears on the top of his head were erected energetically, "I'm happy to do it for you." ”
The king thought for a moment and shook his head: "I'll expel him tomorrow." And his accomplices, I mean those who cheated the adventurers together, all expelled. Also, I just noticed that you call me the city lord, but now there is no city, and it is obviously not appropriate to call me the city lord. ”
Rosalie said, "There's nothing wrong with that, you are indeed the controller of this floating city, and no one can control this city without you." You can recognize the title of city lord, or I can write to my father and ask him to make you a duke, and the fief is this floating city. ”
Elizabeth immediately spoke: "I can't stand your wishful thinking. Once the king accepts the title, the floating city legally belongs to Monrovia, the territory of Monrovia. ”
Rosalie smiled: "I don't have this plan, Miss Elizabeth would think like this, I'm afraid she didn't make such a plan, so think I'm too, right?" ”
Wang: "Instead of arguing here, you should think about how to arrange the thousands of people now." I just forgot to mention that there is still a problem of drinking water to be solved. There is no water source on the floating city, and it flies relatively high, probably higher than the clouds of rain.
"We have to have the equipment ready to store water. Granny Hashir, do your craftsmen know how to dig pools? ”
Hashel was embarrassed: "The Pelicans don't have the right craftsman to do this. After all...... We have lived by the Masunya River since we were born, and fresh water is a readily available resource for us.
"There are no wells in the whole of Repulse City, and there are no ponds for storing water."
The king could only hold his forehead: "This is very difficult." ”
Elizabeth: "We have a lot of dimensional bags, do you want to use them for water?" ”
Everyone looked at Elizabeth together.
Xiaobai: "This ...... Could it be that Dabai is actually quite smart? ”
Wang shook his head: "No, how is it possible, when I gave Nini a lecture yesterday, she came over to listen again, but she quickly fell asleep on the table." ”
Xiaobai: "What do you mean?" I slept while you were lecturing! Scold me for having the same IQ as her? ”
Elizabeth: "Enough of you! I come up with great ideas once in a while! ”
Wang: "Yes, you did come up with a great idea this time. ”
He patted Elizabeth on the shoulder: "Well done." Solved our problem temporarily, but only temporarily. We have another Order to deal with, and now we have to worry about the lives of 2,000 refugees. ”
Liguang spoke: "At best, among these two thousand, you can draw at least a few hundred middle-aged men, and you will have at least a small army when you fight against the Order. ”
Xiaobai: "But this small army only has rudimentary weapons and hard leather armor, and you have to get weapons and armor for them." ”
Wang Fu's forehead: "You're right. Speaking of armor...... The only person in our squad wearing heavy armor is still waiting for us to be resurrected. ”
Elizabeth: "How to resurrect?" Wasn't his body destroyed by apoptosis? ”
King: "Ah, well, actually, when we went to confront the lich, it gave - we seized a limited wishing scroll. So we can now think about resurrecting Flint. ”
Nini: "But in order for the Limited Wishing Technique to work correctly, don't you have to be very careful about the words and phrases of the wish?" You...... Will it work? ”
